boot mac-os. D/l ResEdit from apple. change the type and creator
codes for yaboot to 'tbxi' and 'chrp' respectively (Each code is 4
place, case sensitive). Assuming that it's a valid yaboot file.

It was in my install docs that shipped with my binder and CD's for 1.2
replace the ## with the partition number for whichever partition your
yaboot is located on. That mode of use needs yaboot to be at the root
level of the partition. And the setenv commands are unneeded in some
cases. for example, to boot to linux, I get to open firmware, and
type:
boot hd:9,yaboot
I used to have to type yaboot.tbxi, rather than yaboot, since the
older version was yaboot.tbxi
